Could be the MAF sensor gone bad. I have the same issues that are having. I have changed everything recently myself. A new tune up with plugs, wires, disturbor cap/button, new o2 sensor not but like 1000 miles or so on it. Even replaced the fuel filter not too long ago. My car is going into the shop hopefully on Tuesday to find out what is really wrong with it but I am stumped myself because it is idling just right now but as no power like it had before.

I'd probably pull any codes you can from the ECU, before taking you car to the next level (the shop), as it might give you a bit more insight on what the engine might think is wrong.

Well that is the issue I dont know how to pull codes and I already had at one shop that I trust pretty well but they did not do jack to it. Never going back there again. They actually put my whole new/used engine back in 2000 because of a torn timing belt. But if they dont want my business then Im not going back. It does throw a check engine light when it stalls which could be a fault maf or wire sensor to it. I have checked the wire sensor to the maf and I am not getting a response from terminal E which is the diognastic test in the Hayes Manual. I myself got it to idle better yesterday by giving it a basic tune up. Im justed stumped and really need to fix it. I have a friend that works at a shop that is pretty well known so I am taking it there tomorrow. If that does not work then my last alternative would be to take it to a dealership. But I dont think I will have to do that. I will just have to wait and see but I really want my car back running good.
